I have 3 computers: N1, N2 and N3.

N1 has 3 disks  (vg1)
N2 has 1 disk   (vg2)
N3 has 1 disk   (vg3)

I built a Volume group on each machine, now what I would like to do is to unify these volume groups under a new one volume group visible from all the 3 machines (new_vg=vg1 + vg2 + vg3). Is this possible ??? Let me know if anybody tried this.
Thanks in advance,
Xavi !

No, it isn't with LVM.

You probably want (Global File System) or GFS. Though I think
that one tends to assume that your storage is actually free-floating on a Fibre Channel network, not attached to particular machines.

LVM doesn't do stuff over a network by itself.

Have fun (if at all possible),

[linux-lvm] LVM-tools-0.8final-1.i386.rpm

I was trying to find RPMS for redhat 7 for the LVM-tools.

I couldn't find any so i made them. If anyone wants a copy i put them on my web server at http://zoser.mammoth.org/htdocs/tmp

They'll probably not stay there forever so if someone would put them in a more perment place that would be good.

There is a src rpm too if someone wanted to compile it for 6.2 or whatever other version.

thats all
